Jurman signs on for two more years

The two-time Championship winner will enter his sixth season with the Sky Blues, having joined as a youth player on his way to also winning the inaugural 2008-09 National Youth League title.

The early part of the 25-year-old’s 2014/15 campaign was interrupted by illness and injury, however since the turn of the year Jurman became an integral part of the Sky Blues A-League resurgence, and has been rewarded with a new deal.

“I’m very happy to be staying at the club for another two years,” Jurman said.

“It’s the biggest club to play for in the Hyundai A-League and I’ve a feeling we are building something special so I want to be a part of that.

“Sydney is my home and this club feels like a family to me. There is a very good bond among everyone at the club and we are all ambitious to achieve big things in the new season.”

Head Coach Graham Arnold praised the attitude and work rate of the versatile defender.
